The Women & Gender Studies Section will hold its sixth annual Research Poster Session during our General Membership Meeting at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago on Saturday, June 29, 2013, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. The forum seeks to provide an opportunity to present newly completed research or work in progress. Both beginning and established researchers are welcome to apply. Participants may receive collaborative feedback and recommendations for future publishing and/or new initiatives.
The potential scope of the topics includes, but is not
limited to, teaching methods, instruction, information technology,
collection development, interdisciplinarity, and collaboration with
academic faculty. For research ideas, see the newly updated Research Agenda for Women and Gender Studies Librarianship.
Applicants chosen to present their work at the poster session
are expected to supply presentation materials, including poster
boards. Tables for presentation materials will be provided.
Attendees at the forum will find an arena for discussion and
networking with their colleagues interested in related issues and
trends in the profession.
The committee will use a blind peer review process.

to Women and Gender Studies Studies Section members and/or women and
